Review about Pennyroyal Tea Educated converstaion to benefit my understanding | Reviewer: Stephen | 6/23/09 To the person or persons who claim they don't have the time or want to explain kurts issues etc, I am very curious, very educated person and I have many things in common with the man who I knew nothing about untill very recently, if you would like to have an educated conversation about his lyrics his passions etc I would greatly Appreciate your time, I've been a fan of their music since I was a little kid but the media and parents blah blah made him out to be a monster, so I was "blind" to the truth due to the uneducTed, stupid people who are trully blind to the real world Thank you perhaps? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/15/09 I believe it is most probably about abortion. As everyone else has said below its open to personal interpretation but the line "I have very bad posture" could relate to a pregnant woman, and her stunted or bent posture due to the weight of a child. Also, "Distill the life that's inside of me" is also another very clear point adding to my interpretation. "I'm a liar and a thief" could also relate to the fact that she's lying to everyone by saying she's not pregnant and is using "Penny Royal Tea", which is used for cheap abortions. Similarly the "thief" segment could also relate to the fact that she is stealing the life of her child by abortion? I'm not sure, but I think that that is quite possible. Why he wrote it and what his real intentions were, if any, i don't know. Rest in Peace Kurt. penny royal tea | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/8/09 Drinking large amounts of penny royal tea was, in years past ( many, many years) a suicide method. It also has slightly narcotic effects ( and tastes pretty nasty too, or so I have been told.). As for inducing abortions, I don't know about that, but I know that the herd rue will have that effects, and it is also toxic and tastes bad.A tissane of penny royal will also repel fleas, lice, etc. If all of these things are true about penny royal tea, I guess one can take whatever meaning one wants from the song ( every song means something different to everybody else, based upon their experiences) song is accurate for our timees | Reviewer: genesis | 5/19/09 to reviewer "what?" that's just human stupidity which is infinite & human nature. lol & u're complete right about youtube and stuff. this song have to reach barack obama's hand & he will use it to promote his ideal of abortion. :P Pennyroyal tea's BIG MEANING | Reviewer: elizabeth | 5/10/09 I as a kid in the punk scene, knew that a cheap abortion was done by drinking lots of pennyroyal tea over a 5 day period, I think this was pretty common knowledge to any young girl that had access to wicca or herbal healing propaganda. Kurt wrote those lyrics with dave grohl shortly before nirvana recored bleach. He wrote the song on a four track in 15 minuets. The lyrics are short and to the point. He wants to kill the pain. Duh? Why do people read so hard into a man that was really quite simple. Rest his restless soul, and forgive his wife for what she did. nirvana | Reviewer: Heather | 5/8/09 This song is, to me, about withdrawals. yall are all right though. A song means a certain thing to the person who writes it, and that message can be conveyed to those who listen, or it might cause a different reaction. THAT is what a skilled song writer does. Writes a song using SYMBOLISM. pennyroyal tea is about withdrawal, abortion, anemia, or if you have no imagination or feelings, nothing. cancer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/7/09 ok this song is defiantly about his life with addiction and its symptoms it also is kindof about courtney love who he was planning on getting a divorce with even though she helped write the song a bit kurt's lyrics | Reviewer: blah | 3/7/09 Every song that kurt made, i think, were influenced by past experiences, only he knew what the songs meant, only he knew what experiences or memories he was referring to. My point is that even if he just wrote random words, like many say that Kurt made random songs with no meaning, the words he was thinking of while writing a song, they all connected to the song he was creating at the moment. Anyway, Nirvana is an amazing band and this is one of many great songs Nirvana made. Sup | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/30/09 Not saying that I know the answers for sure... but have any of you every detoxed? This describes it very well. "i'm so tired i can't sleep"... it sucks, completely exhausted but unable to sleep, can't shit, and you hurt all fucking over but stomach worst than most. And you're really, really fucking cold. No matter how many blankets/whatever you have. Hot drinks and showers are only way to warm up. So believe whatever you want, but there is no part of this song that doesn't fit in very well with drug withdrawals and regret. Cobain | Reviewer: beneath | 1/29/09 maybe he said that he didnt meant anything with his lyrics... but every one word which is in his songs had to come to his mind because of some reason... its like when you use some hallucinogen and youre doing/saying things that came to your subconscious mind... things about you have never thought before knowingly but they are comeing upon some of your experiences Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 Review the song Pennyroyal Tea The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
